It was and maybe Akina can help get the punt coverage team back to that level. Currently, it's not worth it and I also don't think they threw anywhere near as many flags back then. If you don't block the ball and breath on the punter while running by it gets a 5 yard flag now.
Walker is a really good catcher though. Diaz is not. If Yainer isn't going to hit at a high level, his value isn't very high. I'm not ready to give up on him yet though.
I don't think they would eat a lot of it. They want money off their books before the sale. The Astros taking it on are why I'm not against it because you wouldn't have to send much. Also the chances of Correa getting the last 3 years of his deal aren't very high.
Nah, this is from another website where someone who is friends with a front office person posts. They have been right about deals several times in the past. The twins want to get rid of salary before the team is sold.
The problem is that there's only 1 Dubon on the team. He can't fill all the injury holes. I don't care if it's not Correa, but it needs to be someone if they want a shot at the playoffs.
Yeah, I don't think it's worth the risk. The refs have itchy trigger fingers when it comes to any contact with the punter. Going for the block 10 times feels like it results in 3-4 drive extending penalties while getting 1 block if you're lucky.
Not if they want to constantly rotate them like they do the tackles. Moore is undersized at Edge, but perfect for a linebacker and it's where he will have to play in the NFL.
They are going to have to get an infielder if they want to make the playoffs this year. Taking on Correa's contract will drop what you have to give up for him.
